Front Battery Racks

The first picture is the three front firewall battery racks. We have a support under the first and third battery rack as well as additional supports fastened to the firewall and transmission bell housing.
The second picture is the five front radiator battery racks. They have additional supports on the sides which fasten to the frame.

The third picture is the installed batteries. We're missing the middle battery because (long story short) Bill fused the cable to the post --> I tried loosening the nut to get the cable off the post and snapped the post from the battery. Oops!

Setting up the Welder/Recharging Port

We've received our MIG welder. There was some confusion on the initial electrical setup, but we were able to weld the final three battery rack that will go into the engine compartment. I'll have more detailed pictures soon. This picture is of the new 230V plug in the garage for both welding and eventually recharging Sparky.
